Now that we have cleverly removed showing both up and down mouse-button
events by default, please mention in the doc string of `describe-key'
this for a mouse click:

If you want to see help for both up- and down-button events for a
mouse-button click then you need to hold the button pressed down for a
bit, before releasing it. Otherwise you see only help for the up-button
event.

This behavior is not obvious, and it's not so easy to discover or even
to recognize if you stumble on it.

In Emacs 27, there's no need to hold the mouse button, so this bug is
already solved, and I'm closing this report.
